After the Beethoven Op. 127, there's a woman singing and I don't think the piece was announced and my phone can't ID the track.

Thanks so much for doing these shows! I've listened to almost all of them. I wish KDRT would enable comments on individual show posts! (Also descriptive show titles vs just the dates would be easier to remember/find, looking for past favorites.)

Especially have enjoyed being introduced to the Franjo Krežma: Scherzino, I think I got the overtone/harmonics craziness in Huun-Huur-Tu - Orphan's Lament and the Starker/Bartok Folk Dances from you too.

These aren't requests but if you haven't heard them, Kronos Quartet also transcribed/recorded Bill Evans, thinking of "Peace Piece" in particular. Also the other day I heard this for the first time: search YouTube for "black page solo piano version"...

I totally have a theme request but listeners might not appreciate it and it might be a challenge: tuning temperament/historical tunings, or a theme about how music is either conceptualized or heard differently today vs. when older composers wrote the pieces we listen to (e.g. I liked when you did the gut vs. steel string Bach cello suite comparison). There's a great video on YouTube "Piano Tuner Shows Classical Repertoire Performed in Historical Tunings", it's a trip.

About Eunah

I grew up in and around classical music - learning it, playing it, listening to it, and eventually teaching it. Classical music is a huge and important part of my life that I want to share with all of you in all its unexplored hodgepodge raditude.
I also love other types of music - Glaswegian indie rock mixing shoegaze and 60s girl-pop? I'M THERE. Acoustic guitars and surreal/nihilist lyrics? YES PLEASE. I'm all ears to any and every music recommendation you may have.
I also love baking treats for awesome people, making my friends watch horror movies with me, people-watching in plain sight, and doting on my dog Molly. See you around in Davis!
